Case Study

Application: Repairing Electrical Components Bonded to Train Doors with ARALDITE® 2051 Adhesive

Speed up assembly time with a short curing time and the ability to bond on wet surfaces. 

The Challenge
Bonding small electrical components to potentially wet train door panels.

The Solution

ARALDITE® 2051 adhesive was chosen for this repair application due to its good adhesion to various metals and plastics without surface preparation – even when the surface is wet.

Simple application with cartridges, and a fast cure enabled an efficient process with reliable results.

Case Study

Application: Bonding Outdoor Rail Infrastructure with ARALDITE® 2051 Adhesive

Keep outdoor maintenance operations going, even in cold, damp weather. 

The Challenge

Bonding outdoor rail infrastructure consisting of multiple materials. 

The Solution

Curing at temperatures from 0°C to 40°C, the ARALDITE® 2051 adhesive is perfect for outdoor bonding, even during winter. Minimal pretreatment, fast curing time and simple handling result in quicker assembly.

Over the long term, maintenance is minimized thanks to the adhesive’s resistance to aging.

Case Study

Application: Bonding Small Interior Parts with ARALDITE® 2051 Adhesive

Increase production throughput by reducing cycle times.

The Challenge
